However, we've been pleased with the initial support and communication from the teachers. We're looking forward to seeing more progress in the coming months and years. *(Feb 2023)* - **1/5** — Security lacking: Not a safe school. I managed to finish work early one day so i decided to collect my child instead of their dad. From after school club I was asked who I was here to collect I told them ,this was after waiting 20-25 mins for someone to actually answer the door apparently the bell is broken( again) Then they promptly ushered a child out that was not mine not even the right sex. Without checking I had to say that’s not my child. *(Jan 2023)* - **1/5** — Poor school: Don’t support students. Rewards are slim. Children not given any praise. They also leave some students out of things such as Christmas parties. It also has a very high staff turnover children often taught by various teachers and they think nothing of swapping a teacher half way through a term.,they put huge pressure on young children especially around SAT’s *(Dec 2022)* - **5/5** — Excellent experience at Armfield Academy: My daughter has been attending Armfield Academy for 2 years now and we couldn't be happier. The school's values of respect, tolerance, and resilience are truly reflected in the way the teachers and staff support the children. We've also been impressed with the phonics screening check results and the commitment to academic excellence. *(Sep 2022)* - **1/5** — ARM-FIELD ACADEMY VAPING CENTRE: I was waiting outside the main doors of Arm-field academy, and all around me i see Arm-field students vaping whilst teachers stand there idly, saying nothing. *(Jul 2022)* - **2/5** — Disappointing: Dont bother not as great as it makes out to be you ask to meet with headmaster they reply with ill get a teacher to speak to you nothing gets resolved *(Jul 2022)* - **5/5** — A great school with excellent facilities: We moved out of the area but our son still speaks fondly of his time at Armfield Academy. The school's facilities are impressive, and the staff are always willing to listen and help. We're grateful for the experience our son had and would definitely recommend the school to others. *(Apr 2022)* ## Other schools in Blackpool - [St George's School A Church of England Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/blackpool/st-georges-school-a-church-of-england-academy-15679) — 1.6/5 (20 reviews) - [Highfield Leadership Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/blackpool/highfield-leadership-academy-17078) — 2.1/5 (15 reviews) - [St Mary's Catholic Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/blackpool/st-marys-catholic-academy-16083) — 1.9/5 (14 reviews) - [Blackpool Aspire Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/blackpool/blackpool-aspire-academy-15986) — 2.4/5 (13 reviews) - [Unity Academy Blackpool](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/blackpool/unity-academy-blackpool-14781) — 2.0/5 (13 reviews) - [Montgomery Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/blackpool/montgomery-academy-13409) — 3.5/5 (11 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
